Email from 2011 clarifying the definition of an enclosed portion of a building regarding living space calculations.
Appendix 3
From: James Davison Sent: August 24, 2011 3:57 PM To: Cc: Jeff Chow JChow@viewroyal.ca Subject: Sunroom question follow-up
Hi Ruhi,
To answer your question regarding the sunroom that's partially open to the outside, it is the requirement of our Land Use Bylaw that anything more than 60% of the total perimeter enclosed is considered to be living space and therefore is to be included as part of the total floor area. Here is the wording from the bylaw:
"Enclosed Portion of a Building" means a roofed part of a building that has more than 60% of the total perimeter enclosed by wall, door, glass, post, pier, or screen, except a railing required by the British Columbia Building Code is not considered part of the perimeter enclosure. (Amendment Bylaw, 2009, No. 752)
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Regards,
James Davison MCIP Interim Planning Technician Town of View Royal jdavison@viewroyal.ca 250-479-6800 ext. 239
